Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.

Bonvillain's also done some work for DC, according to Bounding Into Comics, on books like the latest Doom Patrol volume, and if so, then she (he?) is the latest DC contributor to violate their unenforced guidelines and prove they were only virtue-signaling. After they spoke about this, Bonvillain said:

So Bonvillain also wants them blacklisted by the industry? What a disgrace. All concerned can respond to that by voting with their wallets, of course.

And that's not the only creator out there engaging in shoddy behavior this past week. Another is Shadowline publisher Marc Lombardi, who's produced his line through Image, who had the following to say:

Good morning!
It's always a glorious day when you wake up & realize you didn't have to sell yourself out to a bunch of hateful comicsgate assholes just to pick up 1500 social media followers and fund your eventual indiegogo/kickstarter campaign that you "are still considering."

What's really stunning, depending on who the big-mouths in focus are, is how many are willing to risk alienating people who may be buying their products already, and thus reduce sales for their stuff. So, why can't they just retire already and/or move some other industry like agriculture, car manufacturing or computer programming for a change? The entertainment medium is clearly not for them.

Bonvillain was on some of the earliest comicshate boycott lists, and not because of her politics - she is a colorist, hard to make politics out of that. You can't blame her for not wanting publishers to send free copies of her comics to press people who are urging a boycott of her.

About me

I'm Avi Green

From Jerusalem, Israel

I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
